Jesse James - Pete Seeger[00:00:00]
Written by:Alan Lomax/Traditional[00:00:01]
Jesse James was a lad that killed many a man[00:00:09]
He robbed the Danville train[00:00:14]
He stole from the rich and he gave to the poor[00:00:19]
He'd a hand a heart and a brain[00:00:23]
Poor Jesse had a wife a lady all her life[00:00:28]
And three children they were so brave[00:00:33]
But that dirty little coward that shot Mr. Howard[00:00:38]
Has laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:00:43]
It was on a Saturday night[00:00:47]
When the moon was shining bright[00:00:50]
They robbed the Glendale train[00:00:52]
And people they did say[00:00:57]
O'er many miles away[00:00:59]
It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James[00:01:01]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:01:06]
To mourn for his life[00:01:09]
Three children now[00:01:11]
They were brave[00:01:13]
But that dirty little coward[00:01:16]
That shot Mr. Howard[00:01:18]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:01:21]
Now the people held their breath[00:01:44]
When they heard of Jesse's death[00:01:46]
They wondered how he'd ever[00:01:49]
Come to fall[00:01:51]
Robert Ford it's a fact[00:01:53]
He shot Jesse in the back[00:01:56]
While Jesse hung a picture on the wall[00:01:58]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:02:03]
To mourn for his life[00:02:05]
Three children now[00:02:08]
They were brave[00:02:09]
Well that dirty little coward[00:02:12]
That shot Mr. Howard[00:02:15]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:02:17]
Well Jesse was a man[00:02:22]
A friend to the poor[00:02:24]
He'd never rob a mother or a child[00:02:27]
There never was a man with[00:02:31]
The law in his hand[00:02:34]
That could take Jesse James when alive[00:02:38]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:02:42]
To mourn for his life[00:02:45]
Three children now[00:02:47]
They were brave[00:02:49]
Well that dirty little coward[00:02:52]
That shot Mr. Howard[00:02:54]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:02:57]
Jesse went to rest[00:03:07]
With his head on his breast[00:03:09]
The devil upon his knee[00:03:12]
He was born one day[00:03:16]
In the County Clay[00:03:19]
And he came from a[00:03:21]
Solitary race[00:03:23]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:03:26]
To mourn for his life[00:03:29]
Three children now[00:03:31]
They were brave[00:03:32]
Well that dirty little coward[00:03:35]
That shot Mr. Howard[00:03:38]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:03:40]
Well Jesse had a wife[00:04:02]
To mourn for his life[00:04:05]
Three children now[00:04:07]
They were brave[00:04:09]
Well that dirty little coward[00:04:11]
That shot Mr. Howard[00:04:14]
He laid poor Jesse in his grave[00:04:16]
